## Configure Build File

Add the Unkey SDK dependency to your `build.gradle` file:

```groovy
plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.5.4'
    id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.11.RELEASE'
}

group = 'com.example'
version = '0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'

java {
    sourceCompatibility = 1.8
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven {
        name = "GitHubPackages"
        url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/shreyanshtomar/my-registry")
    }
}

dependencies {
    //..other dependencies
    implementation 'com.unkey:unkey-springboot-sdk:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT'
}
```

## Unkey Root Key

When requesting resources, you will need your root key — you can create a new one in the [settings](https://app.unkey.com/settings/root-keys).

Always keep your root key safe and reset it if you suspect it has been compromised.
